I guess it's a part of the Parrot Club Bible in here. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.

That's your prerogative. I choose otherwise.

Just to make this clear, you did listen to Trump in the Primary and all, right?

You understand that he has made 100's of such statements - right out of 8th grade (if that) and continues to do so to this very day???

I'm with you. He set a bad tone and never once apologized for it or changed his ways. He's the leader and sets the tone. Using Trumps own world-view, why wouldn't others "fight back" in the same way he does?

I think future Presidents won't do this. Or at least I hope they don't.

But that's the general perception among the public . Both parties won't agree to 2. Because businesses will suffer.

Actually, it was the Republicans who tried to pass e-verify the last time but the Democrats voted it down.

If he can't get his party to support him, he is not a great negotiator.

Believe me I’ve been wondering the same thing.

There are states like Calif. though that won't call ICE because they want to protect illegal aliens in their communities and it doesn't seem to matter if they have a criminal record or not. The illegal that killed Kate Steinle comes to mind up in San Francisco. He was just released in spite of his record and his illegal alien status. Calif. had declared itself to be a sanctuary state which means they will never call ICE when they have an illegal alien in their custody and it has nothing to do with any costs they may incur for holding them till ICE comes either.
